Hygiene – scalp needs to be washed frequently just like the skin to remove the dust & dirt coupled with natural oils of the hair. Also, the styling gels and hair oils that you use must be washed away regularly.

Spa – shampoos, conditioners, straighteners, coloring, hair spa creams, and many more things that we use on the hair needs to be washed away from the scalp. While shampooing is essential, opting for plain water with some herbs is a better way than using chemicals.

Acne – when pores in the follicles are blocked with excess oil, it results in scalp acne. Reasons for this blockage can be hormonal changes, medication, humid environment, pollution, genetic history, stress, etc.

Folliculitis – an infection caused due to bacteria, it appears as small pus filled pimples which start as tiny red eruptions. Folliculitis can lead to scarring too.
